THE contest for Legwifttivo honors
in the 4th district, from the north i
side, lies between Hon. James Collins .
and John Brady. The other aspirants
from this side have practically given '
up the light.
PATRICK CAREY, of the Points, is ;
making a quiet but effective canvass •
for delegates in his behalf for the j j
nomination of County Commissioner, j
and will leave no stone unturned to
make it by honorable means. i
KENTUCKY is a model Commonwealth
in many respects, and she gives proof !
of her magnanimity by sending her
most deserving son to the Senate of;
the United States. Her latest pre
cedent is the sending of her able
Representative, John G. Carlisle, to j
the Senate to fill the vacancy caused |
by the death of Senator Beck. If
this example should be imitated by
other States the Senate would soon |
become what it ought to be —the
greatest deliberative body in the j
world.
How constant and watchful and
tender is the solicitude of the Re
publican protectionist for the farmer 1
But Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, him
self a Republican, in his speech on the
McKinley bill recently made this re
markable statement: "I can name j
upon my ten fingers men whose com-1
bined profits in the last decade have !
exceeded those of all the agriculturists \
of any State in this Union." The
manufacturers and the trusts get the
protection and the profits of the tarifi
—the farmer gets the husks and hum
hug.
IN - ISB9 the machine politicians of !
Pennsylvania refused even to treat;
with decency a bill to reform the bal
lot when in the Legislature. But!
they now profess the most unbounded j
affection for such a measure, and de
clare their purpose to put a demand
for it in the next Republican platform.
Everybody knows how much value to
attach to the platform promises of the
Republican machine managers of this
State. Their new-born zeal for ballot
reform in 1890 is as much to be
dreaded as was their open hostility in
1889. They are covering ballot re
form with their caresses only to be
tray it.
Tuf. street commissioner informs us
that he has made a personal tour of
every dwelling in the borough, and as
a result he finds about twenty cess
pools overflowing and in a condition
that is unfit to be tolerated by the j
Sanitary committee of councils. He
has notified the parties owning the j
premises, and unless the nuisance is
abated he will do it and charge the I
cost to the borough. This report of !
the street commissioner needs no com- '
ment. It is a certain fact that the
necessity of sewers exists, and unless
something is done to give the people i
an artificial outlet an epidemic will
take place.
THE greed of the cool corporations
was again vividly shown in the disss
tor tliut occurred at Ashley last week,
whereby a large number of human i
beings fell victims to the cost of coal'
mining. Their rapacity for the few
cars of coal contained in the pillars;
which is the only support left to hold ,
the roof, was, it may be said, the
cause of this sad and untimely oc- j
curence. \\ hen the work of robbing
such pillars or bodies of coal is done,
and the same all taken out there is
nothing left to support the top, and it
must necessarily full and deface God's
earth with a large and unsightlymine i
hole and renders it useless for the
time to come. While it may be said
tliut the loss of life in thin accident
was not directly occasioned by the j
cave-in it was nevertheless through
its terrible effects and frightful sur '
roundings that the deadly gas was
ignited by one of the poor unfor
tuuates who was trying to rescue I
himself from the perilous position.
In view of the many accidents that
happen in the Wyoming region, and,
also in other regions of tU anthracite
coal fields from gas explosions, cave
ins, etc., it is therefore evidently an.
parent that something should he done
to prevent the loss of life. It is need
less to say that the already enacted
laws relating to coal mining in this
State, and for tho safety of the men
employ ed in such work, are not on
forced, and they will be so until the
coal operators are brought to the j
point and made to understand that I
there is such laws and that they can
be compelled by force of law to follow
them out. Indeed in many instances
the miners would rather have the
privilege of mining the coal bv his
own good knowledge and experience
wherein he could loud more coal and
make more money than he could bv '
the ordinary way; but such reckless
system ol wholesale robbing, by so
many men in one section, should l„,
prevented. There is but one way to
have the mines of the anthracite coal
fields in n safe condition, and that is
by Legislative power. If it is left :
much longer to the direction of the
mine owners they will continue to)
take every pound of coal out of their
land, and thereby make it always
dangerous for their employes. At
the next session of the Legislature
we hope to see that body enact or en- J
force something that will compel the
coal operators to work their mines to j
a certain extent and for the safety of .
the men employed therein.
CHAUNCEY DEPEW.
\ WPHUTII tiirl'H Funny Kxperlenee With
* tin- (•rent Dinner-Talker.
Chauncey Ilepew tells so many good I
glories on oilier people that there is
general rejoicing when some one liian
ages lo have the laugh on him. and the |
chihmeu are telling each other with I
much unction the following Utile tale, I
says the Brooklyn Engh : ll is not per
haps a secret that our Chauncey is, j
like Mrs. Gilpin, of a frugal mind, and j
is thrifty with his stories and jokes.
After the press has once gotten hold of i
his good things he never uses them ■
again, at least in that particular com
munity; hut 110 man can have a whole
set of "brand-new brilliants every day
of his life, and a little discretion and a
good memory will make one's store go
a long way without being guilty of
repetitions to the same audience. But
the discretion of even Chauncey is at
fault at times, and the other night lie
suffered because of it. The daughter
of a certain famous American who has
hitherto made his home in the west has
been visiting in New York and was one
of the guests at a dinner of very dis
tinguished men and women last week.
She is a woman accustomed to the in
tellectual best of the men who go in to
dinner with her, and oil this occasion
she regarded with some surprise the
efforts of the man who had taken her
in to dinner to amuse her. He looked
like a person of ability, but she gradu
ally gained the impression that he was
laboring under the delusion she was a
wild westerner who was many years
behind the times and had not heard
anj- modern jests. When this idea be
came firmly rooted in her mind she
was at no further pains to conceal her
indifference to his efforts, and at last
in despair her dinner companion re
marked: "Miss , we don't seem to
j get on. What is the matter? I wish
j you would tell me frankly." "I will,"
she said, laughing a little. "I am
cross because you have been telling me
Chauncey Depew's old stories all the
j evening. 1 don't know him myself,
I but I've heard all his stories over and
1 over again, and I don't think I can
stand them again." Her companion
paused a moment, then shook all over
with amusement and delight, and said:
"Miss.—your frankness is simply
enchanting, and I'll confess in my
turn. I thought you were a very young
girl, aud from so far away in the west
! that you were not likely to have heard
these stories, so I was using old stock
: on you, but I see my error, and now I
will tell you some stories of Chauncey
Depew's that I am sure you've not
heard." From that moment the west-
J ern girl declares that such a stream of
brilliant talk, anecdote, and witticism |
poured forth that she never noticed |
what she was eating and was desper
ately grieved when the hostess gave i
the signal to rise and she was separated !
from her clever companion. Going
home in a cab she said to her father:
"l)o you know the name of the man
who took me in to dinner? I didn't
catch it, but I found him perfectly
i charming." "My dear girl," said her
father, "you don t deserve vour privi
leges. Of course you found him charm
ing. That was Chauncey Depew!"
There was a dreadful silence from the
j young woman all the way home after
j that, but she told the whole story next I
j morning at the breakfast-table with
| much shamefaeedness and her family
i found it too good to keep.
The Art of Sharpening a Knife.
"Do you know how to sharpen a
carving-knife?" The question was ask.
j od by a big butcher in Fulton street,
i "Very few people do," said he. "The
I carver ought to be held at an angle of
j twenty to twenty-five degrees on the
steel. When the other side of the blade
1 is turned you must be careful to prc
j serve the same angle. Then draw the
steel from heel to point against the
edge, using only a slight pressure."—

The Buck-board Driver's Mistake.
A Bar Harbor buckboard-drivcr is
sore on account of a mistake he made !
last summer, says the Lowiston Journal. j
He had taken a passenger, a young
woman, from near the club-house to j
"Chat wold" and had told her the price
of the trip would be $1.60. On the I
way he tried to make out whether she j
was a tourist or a servant, as, accord
ing to an exchange, "his big heart!
would not allow him to charge a work- i
ing girl such a price for so short a
ride." On reaching their destination
the newcomer was met at the door by I
one of the maids, and he decided she [ '
was a servant, and so gave back the ■
half-dollar when she paid him. Later
he learned that the young woman was ! 1
Miss Mary Garrett, a twenty million. '
aire, and he is now inconsolable. "She I !
took the 50 cents as willingly as if she |
had been taking in washing to earn the '
money," is his plaint.
Advertising in Paris.
The latest development of the ad
vertising art comes from Paris, where
an enterprising publisher has employed
a large corps of sandwich men to ad
vertise a hook by walking down the
boulevards and reading it with rapt
attention. An inquisitive gentleman,
anxious to know how far this would
have ail educational effect upon the
readers, crept up behind one who
seemed more rapt than all the others,
and found— that lie was reading the
book upside down.
She Was Unusually Discreet.

New York and went to the theatre two
or three times. On | lar r et„ rn home
she was reluctant to go to church on
Sun ay and made the remark that "she
liked those meetings best where the
curtain rose. ' Her father who was a
leading church member, cautioned her
about making that remark when call
ers were present. Shortly after the
minister was shown in and the little
girl entertained him awhile alone.

A .Saloon Ilroke Into.
Early Sunday morning the saloon, on
the corner of Slain and Centre streets,
kept by Edward Murphy was broken
into, and a considerable quantity of
lienor, cigars, hams and other articles
taken away.
The entrance into the saloon was
effected by breaking the cellar window
and getting up stairs. The parties made
a great effort to get money, as was evi
dent by the way that alf drawers and
cupboard were broken and tossed about.
Not finding any money they next turned
their attention to the stock of liquors and
helped themselves pretty freely. Mr.
Murphy left the saloon at 12 o'clock on
Saturday night and returned again be
tween 7 and 8 the next morning. He
immediately gave the alarm, and Bur
gres Cowen, together with four other
special police, began an investigation,
and later in tire day warrants were issued
by T. A. Buckley, J. I'., for the arrest of
Edward Goodman, Manus Dougan, Chas.
Sharpe and Patrick Ferry. They were
given a hearing and remanded until 10
a. m. on Monday morning, when the
parties werebroughtup. Witnesses were
heard and the parties committed to tire
county jail to await the next term of
court.
NenrinK Completion.
The large iron breaker in course of
erection at Drifton is rapidly nearing
completion, and in all probability will be
ready to begin operations on June Ist.
It is "undoubtedly the fineßt breaker in
the coal regions, being equipped with all
the latest improved machinery for the
handling and preparation of coal; and,
when in perfect running order it is ex
pected that 150 mine cars of coal per
hour can be prepared for market, though
fears are entertained by many as to
whether this amount can be hoisted at
present. It will give employment to 50
men and boys more than the one which
was destroyed by fire a little over two
years ago.

Two Victims of the llnil.
Lloyd Thrash, who has been employed
011 the Lehigh Valley railroad as brake
man, but who was conducting a freight
train for the past week, was killed at
Fairview on Saturday evening. For
some reason he stepped from his train
and was walking on the track on which
a fast train was running, and, not notic
ing the approach of the engine, was
struck and instantly killed. The remains
were taken to liazleton, where hiß
mother resides, and interment was made
in Conyngham on Tuesday. Mr. Thrash
was well known in this vicinity, having
resided in Freeland for a number of
years. He is a brother of Proprietor
Thrash of the Central hotel.
A strange accident is recorded in the
deaths of Mr. Thrash and a Mr. Stack
house who were killed on the same road
and near the name place within forty
j eight hours. Mr. Stackhouse, who waß
killed on Friday evening, waß on duty in
, Mr. Thrash's place, and was killed by
the train parting and falling under the
cars, and Mr. Thrash was killed on Sat
urday evening, very near the same place,
while tilling the position made vacant by
the death of Mr. Stackhouse.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
It is estimated that the census of 1890
will show that the American people are
producing useful products to the value of
; not less than $14,000,000,000 annually, of
which about $700,000,000, or 5 per cent.,
are exported. The value of our manu
facturing and mining products is, in
round numbers, $7,000,0()0,000, of which
about two per cent, are exported. Thus
the home market takes from 95 to 98 per
cent, of all our products. Yet the free
trader will claim that it would be a wise
policy to sacrifice the home market for
the sake of fostering the small per cent,
of foreigii trade. Is it not better to keep
the rich prize which we now have than
to cast it aside for the comparatively
paltry bauble of the free traders? — Roch
ester Chronicle (Hep.).
AVhat a grand tribute to perfect free
dom of trade! The most tremendous
volume of production the world has ever
seen, the above, has grownup under the
economic conditions imposed by the fol
lowing :
"No tax or duty shall be laid on articles
exported from any State. No preference
shall he given, by any regulation of com
merce or revenue, to the ports of one
State over those of another; nor shall
vessels bound to or from one State be
obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in an
other." Constitution of the U. S., Art.
I, See. IX, Paragraph 5.
"No State shall, without the consent of
Congress, lay any impost# or duties on iw
]#>rt# or exports, except what may be ab
solutely necessary for executing its in
spection laws * * Constitution
of the U. S., Art. I, Sec. X, Paragrapli 2.
That is to say, the Constitution of the
United States compels absolute and per
fect freedom of trade between Stateß ex
tending over an area nearly as large as
the whole of Kurope, of interests as
widely divergent as any of the nationali
ties of the Old World, of populations
almost equally dissimilar. The planter
of Georgia and Mississippi can send his
cotton to New Kngland and receive ma
chinery, clothing and all the manufac
tured necessaries of life hack again with- j
out any obstruction from tlic barbarisms
of trade perpetrated between nations j
under the pretence of "Protection." I
Similarly, when the progress of discov
ery has shown that enormously valuable
deposits of iron ore and coal underlie the
soil of many Southern States, they are
permitted free access to all the States of
the Union, although in so doing they may
knock the bottom out of older markets
and cheapen products beyond anything
hitherto dreamed of in that section.
These are the conditions under which the
enormous development of these United
States have been carried forward.
But please observe one circumstance,
esteemed monopolistic Rochester brother,
although but a small percentage of the
agricultural products of this land are ex
ported, that small tail end of the market
wags the whole dog and brings down
prices to uniform figures all around,
thus compelling our farmers to take
the same price and not a cent more
for their staples than all other farmers of
the world get for theirs. This, beloved,
is exactly equivalent to Free Trade for our
farmers in what they sell, though, as you
know, everything they buy is*'protected"
(that is, taxed) for the benefit of a small
coterie of monopolists and manufacturers.
•'Heads I win, tails 1 lose" is the game
the monopolists have been playing the
farmers these many days, but the end
will soon come. The Campaign of Edu
cation is going bravely on and will not
stop till every man occupies just the same
position in the eyes of the law and of our
commercial system that every other man
does, and when no one shall be permitted
to use the power of public taxation for
his private enrichment.
"Thou shalt not steal" is a very old
rule, but we have seen nothing to cause
us to change our mind as to its propriety
or to make us think robbery is any bet
ter or more justifiable when done under
color of law, with all the solemnity
that attends the acts of a great govern
ment or under the fondly delusive name
of "Protection to American Labor."
WASHINGTON LETTER.
W ASHINGTON. May 20, '9O. i
While the opponents of the new tariff
| bill outside of Congress ure vigorous and
aggressive, there seems to be more or less
lack of enthusiasmand energy among its
friends. Even that great Representative
Republican Organization, the Union
League Club, of New York, is unable, at
this late stage of the game, to agree upon
a line of action and come to the support
of the bill with alacrity which the friends
of this important measure expected. At
the meeting of the club on Thursday
evening, which had been set for hearing
the report of the committee on political
reform in approval of the bill, there was
such a small attendance that no report
was submitted, and it was decided to let
the matter go over till the June meeting.
In striking contrast to the action of the
Union League Club is the formidable de
scent about to be made upon Congress by
the merchants of New York. They rep
resent an annualcommerceof over $500,-
000,000, and they are thoroughly organ
ized in antagonism to a measure which
in their opinion threatens the merchnn
tile interests of the country with general
paralysis. They have in hand, all ready
to be dumped upon the House of Repre
sentatives, the reports of not less than
twenty-three committees showing the
probable effect of the passage of the bill
upon as many different branches of trade,
and early this week will send a delega
tion to this city of about 300 of the lead
ing business men of New York, to be
strengthened by similar delegations from
other parts of the country, with the
view of bringing such a pressure to hear
upon the Congressional mind as cannot
safely be ignored or easily resisted. The
fight will soon be on, and even with a
Republican majority in the House it is
not to be altogether a one-sided fight.
The friends of the bill must be prepared
to meet its opponents, not upon partisan
grounds alone, for these may weaken in
the contest, but upon the higher planes of
justice, reason and the public welfare.
Ever since the wonderful little Herr
schoff torpedo launch, the Cushing,
came here the fore part of last week she
has every fine afternoon taken a party
of Statesmen for a spin down the river.
The Statesmen have been those compos
ing the Naval affairs committees of the
House and Senate. Many of the com
mitteemen are from inland States and
their lack of familiarity with maritime
affairs seems to make matters pertaining
to the navy especially interesting to the
Western members of the committees,
perhaps because of the novelty on these
trips (town the river. Lieutenant Win
slow, the commanding officer, takes the
streersman's place, and under his guid
ance the Cushing darts forward and
backward—she can stop in her own
length and back eighteen knots an hour
—turns around as if balanced on a pivot
at her screws, whirls around and around
in circles scarcely larger than a circus
ring, all with a quickness that is almost
catlike. A remarkable thing about the
remarkable craft'is the almost entire ab
sence of vibration when being pushed to
her highest speed. Down in the fore
castle where the tumult of the water
churned into foam by the screws is less
noticeable; tbere is really nothint to in
dicate that the machinery is working at
all, no vibration being felt. Each of the
cranks of the five engines on each side
is set at a different angle, and this fact
goes far, the engineer says, toward ac
counting for the remarkable small
amount of vibration. The members of
the two Naval committees have evinced
the greatest interest in the Cushing and
more boats of her type may be built.
Speaker Reed's selection of Congress
man Blount to succeed the late Congress
man Randall on the Committee on Rules
is a fitting recognition of the ability of
the Georgian. Mr. Blount's extensive
experience as a Legislator has well quali
fied him for tne important position to
which he has been chosen, and the
Democratic party is to be congratulated
that it has secured the services of so able
a man to (111 a position in which the late
Mr. Randall was enabled to render his
party such valuable service.
Justice L. Q. C. Lamar sat in the House
gallery for awhile Saturday morning and
pointed out the celebrities in the pit be
low to some Georgia friends who accom
panied him. The Justice is beginning to
age rapidly. It is generally remarked
that he looks ten years older than he did
ten years ago, and he stoops painfully as
he walks. The bench is telling rapidly
on the Justice.
It is generally remarked that Secretary
Blaine looked in poor health at the fun
eral of Senator Beck at the Capitol the
other day. It is understood that the
President tries in every way to make Mr.
Blaine's duties as light as possible. He
is said to have informed an applicant
for oflice the other day that he was now
making the appointments to consular
places, and not the Secretary of State.
This consideration is, no doubt, deeply
appreciated by Mr: Blaine. R.
